Almost finished

For a few months now I have been part of a Stitch-a-long that Chookyblue organised. Many of us signed up to make 'A Gardeners Journal' by Annie Downs. Chooky set the plan and each month we were to post the block that we had stitched complete with pictures. I think a few fell by the wayside but from some of the pictures it would seem that many really got stuck in. I did miss a month (due to illness) but once I got back at the machine there was no stopping me and just to make sure I stayed with it Mother Nature stepped in and gave us the crappiest weather you could wish for - just perfect for a day or two indoors sewing. Well, things were going just great, so I carried on sewing and before I knew it the top was finished.I'm sure Chookyblue has spent hours ensuring that our posts were recorded on the side bar and I'd just like to thank her and the many others that volunteer their time to create these types of things that get some of us moving.Have a great weekend everyonehugs
